I would feel pretty uncomfortable if I found out my teacher had a gun on him

I believe the correct answer is not living in a society where either of these signs is necessary.

Considering we've had more than one school shooting where the heavily trained and armed resource officers stood down while children were being slaughtered, I don't think the sign on the right would make me feel any safer.

What percentage of school shooters are not expecting to die already, even without the stupid sign?

Yes, give the overworked and underpaid people guns. There is no way a potential gunmen could now also get his gun on premise.

I'm also amazed if they actually believe any sign would stop that. These people mostly plan on killing themselves anyways.

The second sign just lets the active shooter know to shoot the teacher first.

This kind of warning only works on people who intend to stay alive, but most mass shooters take their own lives or "suicide by cop" rather than be apprehended. This just shifts it to "suicide by teacher" when one eventually arrives after the shooting has already started.

Unsurprisingly, not much of a deterrent.

Yeah, the lack of impulse control for some teachers, would make this scenario scary as fuck. I don't live in the US, but would count the days, until a teacher unnecessarily shoots a student (by accident, because of a dispute, or some other stupid reason).

So parents and teachers have to spend their own money to make sure kids have tissues and crayons in the classroom, but the school has enough money to send the entire staff to recurring firearms training?

It is like putting a sign that says "No water allowed" on the bottom of the ocean.

Unless you remove the ocean, things will get wet.

I'd like to remind people that even in a maximum security prison, your safety is not guaranteed. You can give all your rights away, and still get raped in the shower.

Welcome to the shitter multiverse.

Signs are not the solution

What sign will they come up with after an armed teacher snaps and shoots students?

Every single child should be within 10 feet of all times of a murder device activated by a simple trigger. The best solution to solving murder is adding more killing machines, because mistakes never happen around kids, and they're all mature enough to fully recognize the consequences of pulling the trigger at someone.

Neither

If I were a school shooter, the sign on the right says to me, take out the staff first before they realize what's going on.

None. But only one will be the cause even more chaos and innocent death once the cops arrive.

Teachers and adults are just as unstable as kids. They are just scared themselves.

Are we going to start paying for guns and training, and not like proper school supplies and lunch programs? Like, what's the cost here? Are teachers going to have to pay it themselves? Are we buying gun safes for every classroom, too? I'm not sure a locked desk drawer is going to keep a determined kid out.

Neither.

Have these idiot Right wingers met some of these teachers? But then again all of the worst teachers who probably would shoot an innocent student are of course idiot Right Wingers.

I'm a college/univ teacher and I will quit on the spot if you ask me to have a gun.

"Cool, infinite ammo glitch!"

I'd like to remind everyone that staff shooting children is also a tragedy and that only one of these signs promotes safety. (It's not the one with staff armed)

The people that come up with these things are incapable of any thought outside of the current single one in their pea sized brains.

What's better than one person with a rifle?!

TWENTY PEOPLE WITH RIFLES LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO

Brought to you by the people celebrating Kyle Rittenhouse as a hero.

Kid throws a spitball at another classmate and the teacher shoots them both because they have a zero tolerance policy on bullying.

What if we used the right sign, but didn't actually arm teachers? Like those fake security cameras in retailers?

unironically the left one?

but like please stop letting 14 year olds buy guns.

and stop overworking them and get them professional help

Neither actually, but prohibiting weapons is a policy that when acted on can protect children

Depends on your view

The US is lost.

Better hope that first attempt doesn't succeed.

Russia has beaten us and didn't have to fire a shot. They'll watch us kill each other over racism, religious zealotry, and narcissism.

I'd think the second sign would be helpful, even if it's false. Think on it: Mass murderers go for soft targets, every time. They'll just go someone that has the first sign.

The thinkg about this argument that always gets me is that they clearly understand the concept that weapons free zones dont work because people that dont care can just bring in guns from outside. But then unironically say "But Chigaco has gun laws and they have high crime rates!!!!" without ever making the connection.

Haha, what a stupid meme. Let’s spread this around so everybody knows what a stupid meme this is. lol stupid right wingers
